they're here :D :D :D :D first i'm going to finish the "good" one. re-check the iron, re-weld when needed. smooth out the surface ,some corners and hole's. then it's going to be spray-painted then i'm gonna start on the "bad" one it's pretty crispy (rust) so a lot more work on that one, i'm going to...

wow it would be cheaper to buy the frames at aldridge ,they ask about the same then i paid for the bad one :? :?
thanks for the info , it's hard to this with google

btw the surfolk and surley site doesn't work any more, when i click the link i'm on a baking site

Steve Just tell everyone it is a 1963 S1 3.8 OTS and you will be OK. Don't bother to go into details about your Golf or you will cause confusion. The S1 4.2 litre cars produced from 1965 had different seats. t i know what you mean , but when order a part( ex. the woodwork) it will fit any ots seat ...

when i search for the parts they always ask the type of car : engine type,ect...
is there a big difference between otc seats or al they al the same ?

thanx guys, just 1 little problem i live in belgium :D i'm a minimum 3 hours from GB :D i'm gonna search for the right stuff , order online , do it myself . just the leather is going to be done by a pro. also make a little ajustment on the backrest , so that the" spine-crushing thingy" is gone i'm a...

hi everybody, soon after i ended my topic here , i got an e-mail from a some-one . he read this topic , and he had a set of seat (frames) :one restored and one to be restored , i think they are ots's he told me his price and i agreed the restored one http://img525.imageshack.us/img525/9018/otszp6.th...

ots still looks beter :D
because it's not for a e-type i could chance the top to look like an ots

the bigger challenge will be finding a set
those seats look great btw

Yes that is the OTS seat. The FHC seat looks like this: http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y186/q-max/JHaLyT.jpg The back rest is wider and flatter at the top although some FHC's left the factory with OTS style seats, but not the other way around. The complaints centred around the seam in the middle ...

to make sure it's the same seat we're talking about

thanks mate for the great info

the cost will be way less i think, almost every part that you need he is in container next to it : al the body work , motor parts , interior , lights, logo's.......... a new top... that's what really makes it a shame , everythings there but just has to be mounted... its not really for the comfort , ...

hi everybody, i'm steve from belgium , and about a week ago , i "found" a e-type '61 convertible in the yard of a neighbour. it's in a terrible condition , laying there for about 15-20 years . my neighbour isn't the owner but a mate of him is , he imported the car and alot of parts for it , but neve...
